Franklin believes Warren should bring home some hardware this season — and should be invited to New York City for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. “They ought to bring the Mackey Award tonight,” Franklin said. “Put it on a private jet, fly it to Tyler Warren and give it to him on Sunday. And then he should get an invitation to New York.

Penn State's Tyler Warren once wondered whether he was good enough to play tight end for the Nittany Lions. Now, he's having a Heisman-caliber season.

They got it from tailbacks Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen (143 yards rushing combined). They got it from defensive end Abdul Carter (four tackles for loss) and safety Jaylen Reed (third game-turning/saving interception). And, of course, from their do-everything tight end Tyler Warren. Maybe no more than from him.
